. THO COLORED HEROES.

The Bravo Men Who Lost Their Lives FOR
tAHSether SlrOula BE HOnOred I'm the Per
sons Of Their Families.
Saturday last two colored men lost
their fives near Annapolis, Md, in the
noble but vain endeavor TO save a fell
bowman who had broken through ice
and WAS struggling for life. Both
men, it is said left dependent fami-
lies. And what Of them? Will
they be {eft 60 struggle with
the world and battle for bread.
while the heroism displayed by their
natural protectors is unrecogniZed and
unrewardeI save by unsatisfactory and
,unsubstantial praisee Are not the
families of these men entitled to y
pension from Government that is con-
stituted by the people FOR the people?
The friends of Walt Whitman, the
venerable poet, who is poor and worthy
of a pension, but who is not entitled to
one under the laws of this country,
have petitioned Congress to grant him
AN annuity during his lifetime. What
q precedent it would establish, should
Congress heed the petition and grant
the Savor asked. What a score of
worthy poor would have petitions and
petitioners at the National capital. and
how the surplus in the treasury would
melt away through the charitable
benevoleRce Of Congresses which saw
fit to follow such Precedents set for
them. Whitman is poor and worthy;
he is entitled TO pension perhaps but
the laws do not entitle him to one. Sc
also are Mrs. logan and Mrs. Blair,
widows of soldier-Senators, entitled to
pensions from the standpoins their
friends see their cases. but they are
not, no moro than Whitman, under the
law.
Mrs: Logan, Mrs. Blair and the ven
cradle Whitman may be pensfoned by
the Government, but their pensionine
will not strike the public heart as
would the pensioning of the families of
the brave men who risked and lost theil
own lives to save that of fellow be-
ing. Nor would pensions to Mrs. Lo
o gan, Mrs. Blair and Whitman meet the
same general appreciation of the PEG
pie that pension to these dependent
families would. Cases are rare indeed
where life is risked and lost to saw,
another; the establishment of prece
dent to pension the families of hero
who gives up his own life in an at
tempt to save another would meet tn,
general, if not universal, approval o
the people of this country. Itwould b.
a precedent that would not promise {

SECTIONALISM BURIED.

| Even Republican Soldiers Preaching the
| Practical Gospel of Peace After the War
| Has Been Over for Nearly q Quarter
| Century.
The debate in the House the other
day on the passage of the bill pension
ing all persons who served in any war
and were honorably discharged, and
who are now suffering from disability.
merits attention for the fresh evidence
which it gives that the bloody shirt is
forever buried. The bill excerpts
''those persons under political disabil-
tiles" which practically means only
jeff Davis and few other ir-
reconcilables, and also persons who
| incurred disability "while engaged
in the military service against
the United States" but it covers the
cases of all men who served in the
Federal army in previous wars and
who served in the Confederate army
during the civil war without mourning
disability, but are now unable to earn
a support. In other words, it will
place on the pension rolls number of
ex-Confederate soldiers. The significant
feature of the debate was the fact that
fed and defended by more than one
Republican Congressman who served
in the Union army during the civil
war. Mr.. Morrill,, of Kansas. said
that <'this is declaration on
the part of the Government that no
old soldier who followed the flag
for three months, who offered his life
in defence of the country, shall ever
end his days in the poor-house," and
he very CURLY disposed of that cham
pion Of all Northern BourbOns, Bou-
telle. of Maine, thus:
Mr. Morrill-It is true that the soldier OF the
Mexican war or of Indian war who fought
three months for his country, and who after
wards
Mr.. Boutelle-May have fought four years
against it.
Mr.. Morrill-Who afterward entered the Con
Tolerate service shall If disabled now, and H he
did not receive that disability in the Confeder
ate service be- Pensioned. Mr.. Speaker, for
one am willing TO- yield that point. If tbs
soldier fought three months in the Mexican
war, or in the Indian war; bEs8Vely and nobly- )
am willing to forgive him if afterward he WA
led in sT the service against the country.
